Sometimes I'd like to crank up the 'Ride of the Valkyries' while driving the Vanguard on Bazaar.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do it by pressing one of the NumKeys?

I can accept if some prefer Bach over Wagner.

An interesting idea to add the radio. And the possibillity to add his own compositions to the playlist. Of course adding control buttons (forward / backward, off / on).

[BIsmuthZornisse]

i want from a "radio" function:

ability to use playlist files (with shuffle finction/random order)

ability to play single tracks with loop points, said loop points would be defined in an .ini file or something similiar, like this:

""track1.mp3"

loopstart:0

loopend:1 //this is normal start to finish that non-videogame music generally uses

 

"track2.mp3"

loopstart 0.2 //this means when loopend is reached, instead of going to the beginning of the track, it jumps to the point 20% into the

                    //track length

loopend 0.8 //when 80% of the tracklength has elapsed it jumps to loopstart"

etc.

too much resources for implement, and low profit.

 

launch windows media player, load some song, or radio, profit. it's free. spent money on development = 0.

[CrimsonKaim]

In a game I played a looooong time ago, there was a kind of ingame music player. 

 

You basically had a folder in your game files where you can place MP3 soundtracks whic hthen will appear ingame. Within the game, you can bind controls to certain keys (Play, stop, next or previous song, etc.). 

 

 

Actually a really cool gimmick but once more (and I probably will say it a thousand times more): Current suggestions are pointless since we do not have a decent dev team. E3 and recruiting staff takes time (time that Hawken hasn't got but whacha gonna do?). 

Wait for some more months and write suggestions again.

WE just hope that they have those things called notepads and write really good ideas down for later use

I would just keep on playing this.

Used to be able to do this with quake. Swapped out NIN for some rage against the machine

Quake's music was also on the CD, and the game just made calls to the audio CD functions.  Not quite the same as what the OP is asking about.

Background radio chatter would sound pretty awesome too!

Just mp3's in a given folder. Like fake told. Not many lines of code to make it work, I guess. The static noise thing also doesn't seem to be too complicated.

Using CD tracks is also a good idea.

Maybe make it a mc thing to buy?

[Pelanthoris]

Simple mediaplayer would be almost trivial to implement, but the downside is, there's basically no way to monetize with it (apart from making the app cost something (like a cockpit decoration?). That way Reloaded doesn't have to deal with royalties for music. Some kind of ingame radio could be made with (monthly?) subscription and it could easily have background chatter but that would have a fixed playlist and would suck tons of resources. In-game music on demand would be awesome, but again it would be a resource sink and I don't even want to think about all the legal stuff involved.

[Grollourdo]

Or... We make it a good for nothing cockpit decoration ... Then we turn on the mp3 player in the background! Creating an illusion!!!! Muahahah XD lol jk

Sometimes I like to play Sanic instead (or both at the same time... :P)

That time you have when you are destroying everybody with the Raider

Love this idea, kinda like the Pip-boy radio. I sometime play gundam (0079) music while playing xD

[talons1337]

It would be great if you could like define custom music for the main menu and for the "victory music" that plays at the end of a game in the last few seconds as well.

I foresee a lot of this being played
